New possibilities in leaching of gold ores

Abstract

The thesis is oriented to alternative methods for cyanide leaching in gold processing. This thesis aims to show the methodology of new leaching processes, point out possible alternatives in the market for processing raw materials and approach the research process of new reagents on samples from waste after flotation processing of gold ores. The thesis is bringing a closer look at the functioning of methods that have the potential to substitute banned cyanide leaching. In the experimental part, the thesis focuses on three different leaching methods, emphasising factors influencing the processes.
